Biography

Early Life

Mia Toretto was born on January 15, 1981 as the youngest of three children in the Toretto family. Her father was a professional stock driver who owned a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. Her older brother, Dominic, helped their father build the Dodge Charger. Additionally, the Toretto's owned and ran a market and cafe shop.

Mia grew up in the company of Dominic's friend, Vince, who they knew since Dominic was in third grade; and Letty Ortiz, a girl from their neighborhood who she befriended when she was ten years old. When she was sixteen, Letty and Mia's brother became romantically interested in each other.[note 1][1]

Dominic and Mia's father was a proactive figure in their lives. He helped her with homework, reading ahead of the required chapters to help her with work the next day.[2] The Toretto's also attended church and held family barbecues for their neighbors.[2]

Mia presumably did not attend the stock car race where her father was killed in an accident caused by Kenny Linder, a fellow stock car driver, but was devastated all the same. When Dominic attacked Linder, he was arrested and sent to Lompoc Prison for assault. Two years after Dominic's release from prison, they befriended the likes of illegal street racers and mechanic, Leon and Jesse. She later witnessed the stipulation race between her two brothers in Los Angeles, as a result Dom won the race forcing Jakob to leave LA and never return. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Mia was the only Toretto to stay in touch with him by hacking into the police records of Jake not til she was sixteen years old.

Mia was aware of her brother's illegal and criminal activities, stealing from trucks transporting electronics and other goods, and participating in street races as an act of keeping his passion for racing alive after he was permanently banned from the tracks for attacking Linder.

Some time around the time Letty was a teenager, Mia was caught up in an escape attempt in Boyle Heights. Trapped in a corner, Letty was presumably forced to drive her car through a retaining wall; Mia was her passenger.[note 2][3]

Street Racing and Life of Crime

Meeting Brian O'Connor

Mia knew of her brother's crimes, but disapproved and would not involve herself in them.

Mia also doubled as the hot babe of the film due to the fact that Dominic's friends, especially Vince, were shown to be attracted to her. Muse, an FBI agent conducting surveillance on the Toretto camp, was also attracted to her (with Muse even admitting that he would get off on Mia's surveillance photos). Mia was also shown to be a proficient driver as she also grew up with Dominic under their race car driver father.

When Brian revealed himself as a police officer telling Mia that he'd been undercover since first meeting her, Mia felt betrayed but Brian claimed that everything he'd said about her had been real and convinced her to go with him to help save her brother and his friends from the armed truck drivers they'd been hijacking. Mia helped Brian rescue Vince from the truck he'd been pinned to and stayed by Vince's side while Brian blew his cover in front of Dominic to call for a medivac to save Vince. Mia left with Dominic and the others after Vince was saved.

At the end of the film she attended to Jesse after he was shot and killed while Dominic and Brian pursued Tran and Lance.

It is implied in the film that they eventually renew their relationship.

Notes

  1. Mia: Letty grew up just down the street. She was into cars since she was like ten years old. Dom always had her attention. Then she turned sixteen...
    Brian: And she had Dom's attention.
    Mia: Yeah, it's funny how that works out.
  2. Dominic: "...And here... Boyle Heights. You were fleeing with my little sister Mia and got trapped in a corner. And you thought it was a good idea to ride your Torino Cobra through a retaining wall."
